About the IP Gateway (IP GW)
The IP GW is a voice and video gateway that allows calls to be made between pairs of
IP endpoints that cannot normally connect directly to each other. A second Ethernet
port allows for connections between two completely independent networks of
endpoints. A built-in auto attendant and support for manual operators allow easy
connection of calls where a caller cannot directly address the destination endpoint.
The IP GW translates call signalling (for example, between SIP and H.323) and can
connect between almost any two endpoints. The IP GW can transcode all media to
ensure the call takes place.
